Radu and his team provide the highest quality of craftsmanship. They installed a new water heater, replaced a window, and fan in the laundry room. You can tell they take great pride in their work, and the attention to detail truly sets them apart. They used high-quality materials, stayed on schedule, and kept the project within the agreed budget. I highly recommend them for any project.

Radu and his crew at Total Quality Express are skilled craftsman that offer superb workmanship at a reasonable price. Radu is honest and dependable and completed a remodel at my Bellevue Townhouse that I was extremely pleased with. Radu has also completed a commercial retail buildout for one of my businesses. I highly recommend this company and will use them again.

Taft and his crew consistently delivered and met, if not exceeded, my expectations. He is professional, transparent with costs, and offers affordable solutions. His reliability, flexibility, and hands-on approach gave me confidence to give him additional projects, including full remodel of two condo units. It is quite easy to communicate with him, and he is receptive to change requests I made even once after the project has started. I trust his judgment and highly recommend him for any renovation project.

As a property manager I’ve worked with more contractors than I can count and Total Quality Express have become my top choice for any project. I came across them when I needed a hearth created for a fireplace at a property a couple hours out of their service area. Radu was happy to meet in person for an estimate and provided reasonable pricing. Given the location, I wasn’t able to be present for any of the work and am admittedly OCD about details so texted him a lot during the job to ensure everything was done to my liking (he was so kind and patient with all my messages). The hearth was done beautifully (wasn’t easy to cut different sized tiles to perfection while installing on a platform in a corner-he is skilled at tile work).

I then had an unexpected need for flooring replacement at my home which was completed well within a very tight timeframe. Since then I’ve used Radu for all kinds of things including painting, cabinet installation, foundation and exterior repairs, extensive electrical work, you name it. I even had a sliding glass door that I thought needed replacement but he was able to make some adjustments to get it working good as new. What I really appreciate is how he thinks about everything in advance, he asks good questions to ensure projects run smoothly and have the best end result, there’s never a need for backtracking with him. I’ve given Radu checklists with 30+ things on them and he gets every little thing handled, you don’t need to follow up or remind him of anything which is refreshing. As we speak I have a couple projects I can’t wait for him to start on because I know they will be done amazingly well by him and his team.

I will add additional photos shortly.

Radu and his crew renovated 2 of our bathrooms. Prior to decided on signing with him, we met with 10+ other contractors, maybe a bit overkill but that really gave us a confidence to know who would be the best fit. Radu’s work ethich was awesome. He didn’t hard sell us on anything but brainstorm and guided us to the best optimal layout for our bathrooms, helped us consider pros and cons of each options so we could make decisions, instead of just do whatever we said 😂 which we really appreciated.

The crew was well detailed oriented and hardworking people. They went above and beyond on their tile work, paint touch up,… and we appreciate all the little things they did to make the final product great.

Overall, we would reach out to Radu again whenever we have a project and highly recommend him and his crew to others.

Absolutely a great company! The counter tops installed were perfectly done. I was overwhelmed by the professional care doing this. Not once was i questioning how the job they took on. My wife and I are so impressed with the quality of just the makeover of our kitchen counter tops! We will refer these professionals to anyone we know!

Absolutely the best company…period! People went above and beyond and did wonderful job. Radu is one of the greatest owners to work with. Very personanable, super professional and polite! Everything was done on time and the cleaning after that was meticulous. I will use this company in the future and highly recommend them for all household projects!

This is our second time working with Radu and team and we are very happy with the result! We wanted to open up our little jack and Jill bathroom to let in the natural light and make our shower bigger. They closed off the second door and opened up the space. Communication was pretty great and they were accommodating with our delay in getting some of the material. Most specifically the shower door (that Home Depot’s shipping company lost).

It’s been a few months, and our bathroom is looking and working great! Definitely recommend them!

We hired them to install all tile works and wood floors for a whole house remodeling project. The fireplace tile wall turns out great! Master bath walk-in shower does drain well as promised. I even had comments from another contractor once: “Who did your tiles? They did good job!”. The team was polite and punctual. Easy to communicate with as well. I would recommend this company.
